Abstract: A data processing system comprises encoding circuitry operable to encode arrays of data elements, decoding circuitry operable to decode encoded versions of arrays of data elements, and consumer circuitry operable to use arrays of data elements. Data indicative of a resolution that is to be used by the consumer circuitry for at least one region of the array of data elements is provided to the encoding circuitry, and the encoding circuitry uses the data indicative of the resolution that is to be used by the consumer circuitry to control the generation of the representation for representing at least one block that the array of data elements is divided into.

Abstract: In a data processing system that includes a field sequential colour display, when displaying a frame that is to be transformed based on a predicted view orientation on the field sequential colour display, each colour field to be displayed on the display for the frame is transformed based on a predicted view orientation for that particular colour field, such that each colour field will be subjected to a different view orientation transformation to the other colour fields for the frame. The so-transformed colour fields are then displayed sequentially on the display to display the frame.

Then, when the threads of the thread group are to process a portion the common input data value, the portion is provided from the thread that stores it to all the threads in the thread group.

Abstract: A system includes memory devices storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute instructions performing method steps. The method may include training a generator, encoder, and discriminator of a synthetic image generation system to enable creation of synthetic images that comply with one or more image classification requirements. A generator and discriminator may be trained in an adversarial relationship. Training may be completed when the generator outputs a synthetic image that matches a target image beyond a first predetermined threshold of accuracy and the encoder outputs a latent feature vector that matches an input latent feature vector beyond a second predetermined threshold of accuracy. After training the system may be configured to generate synthetic images that comply with one or more image classification requirements.

Abstract: When performing foveated rendering, a graphics processor is controlled to render plural, e.g. three, different resolution versions from the same viewpoint for a scene. The rendered different resolution images are then appropriately combined (composited) to provide the output “foveated” image (output frame) that is displayed. The geometry for the scene is processed and sorted into lists for respective rendering tiles of the images being rendered only once, to provide a single set of tile geometry lists that are then used in common when rendering each respective resolution image.
